Memory Verse

"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?' 'Yes, Lord,' she told him, 'I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who comes into the world.'"

John 11:25-27

Would you like to join our children's ministry team?

We're currently in need of loving volunteers to serve with the children during morning worship. Is this an area you could help with? Ideally, we'd like to have 6 rotating teams to serve in our Little Lambs nursery and in Kingdom Kids.

This is such a rewarding ministry opportunity. With 6 teams, you would only serve an hour every 6 weeks. You also have the added blessing of getting to know all of the children of the church.

Please see Caitlin Bailey if you can serve in Little Lambs (Birth to 3) or Kellie Crowe if you can serve in Kingdom Kids (4 - 2nd grade) so they can get you on the rotating schedule.
